Upland Birds

Pheasants
1999 archery pheasant season. All images were taken on hunts and on wild bird.

Gary readys his recurve while Temis stands on a wild pheasant.

Athough Temis is ahead of Max, this is a divided find. Both dogs were working the same birds and almost simultaneously pointed. Bird dogs and hunters must team up to harvest wild pheasants with a bow.

Gary ready his recurve as he walks toward Temis and Max (backing). One arrow per flush is usually all we get. Since we recover our casted flu flu, oftentimes we don't have another shot at other flushing birds. Watching good dog work and developing archery skills are what counts during the archery pheasant season.

My young derby, Sage and myself. Although Sage is new to pheasants, she shows great promise. Sage seems to immediately know where birds are located.

Most pheasant bowhunters shoot 'instinctively' and use a recurve and flu flu arrows.

Pheasants love agriculture fields and thrive in dense row crops. This is harvest time for broccoli.

Burning asparagus cuttings allows the plants to grow tender shoots. It is a spectacular sight with fire and smoke filling the sky.
